No other regiment in the British army suffered greater casualties amongst its officers at Quatre Bras and Waterloo, as a percentage, than the Royal Scots. Of the 42 officers of this regiment at Waterloo, only nine remained unwounded, these including the Paymaster, the Surgeon and the two Assistant Surgeons. Seven officers were killed. Most of these casualties occurred at Quatre Bras where the regiment distinguished itself in a particular manner, receiving repeated attacks from the lancers and cuirassiers whilst formed in square.
